Twenty-nine Filipinas traveled fifty-three hundred miles to Hawai'i in 1907 pursuing better lives. Thousands of Filipinas followed. These daring women created major life changes, but their stories were seldom heard. FILIPINAS! Voices from Daughters and Descendants of Hawaii's Plantation Era seeks to change that. Sixty-seven storytellers and collaborators share details about their early immigrant ancestors and themselves shedding light on culture, spiritual beliefs, and roles Filipinas continue to play in Hawaii's history. Filipinas are prudent and rarely share their personal and family stories of struggle and perseverance. As their generations decline, they recognize their history will be lost forever. Therefore, they chose to honor plantation-era Filipinas by sharing and preserving their stories publically and offering them as reliable truths and learning tools. "This path-breaking book by Dr. Patricia Brown deals with the fascinating lives and times of the first Filipinas in Hawai'i in the early decades of the twentieth-century," says Dr. Belinda Aquino, professor emeritus of Asian studies at the University of Hawai'i, Manoa, and founding director of its Center for Philippine Studies. "It is a landmark addition to the relatively scant history of Filipinas and Filipina-Americans in the islands and will certainly enrich the existing literature on this particular topic."

Gloria Mundi is a one-act play written by Patricia Brown. The play is set in a small English village and revolves around the character of Mrs. Maitland, a wealthy widow who has recently returned from a trip to Africa. Mrs. Maitland is eager to share her experiences with her friends and acquaintances, but she soon realizes that they are more interested in her money than her stories.As the play progresses, Mrs. Maitland's relationships with her friends and neighbors become increasingly strained. She is forced to confront the reality that her wealth has created a barrier between her and the people she cares about. In the end, Mrs. Maitland is left alone, contemplating the emptiness of her life and the meaning of her existence.Through its portrayal of Mrs. Maitland's struggles, Gloria Mundi explores themes of loneliness, isolation, and the corrosive effects of wealth. The play is a powerful commentary on the human condition and the ways in which our desires and ambitions can lead us astray. With its vivid characters and poignant story, Gloria Mundi is a thought-provoking work that will resonate with readers long after the final curtain has fallen.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

The second title in the Coastal Coffee Club Mysteries finds Eleanor and the gang tangled in a complex web of family secrets, diamonds, and murder.

The old people are dying in this small coastal town of Waterton, but no one seems to notice—after all, that's what old folk do, isn't it? Eleanor and her delightful assortment of friends, most whom are getting up in age, set out to discover what is going on. Is it a series of mercy killings, or murder, and is their investigation putting them in danger?Eleanor has a complicated life, much more complicated than a retired school teacher could want. A precocious 10-year old girl from down the street, an impertinent parrot, a group of hilarious friends, an on-again, off-again suitor, and a husband that seems to be running very late are just the beginning. Can she cope with being in the middle of the hunt for a serial killer too?
